Understanding the Core Ingredients
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate: The Skin's Secret Weapon
Galactomyces ferment filtrate is a powerhouse ingredient renowned for its ability to enhance skin texture, hydration, and overall radiance. Derived from the fermentation process of galactomyces yeast, this enigmatic filtrate can dramatically change your skin’s appearance and resilience. In comparison, Benjamin Button’s serum specifically integrates this vital ingredient while also harnessing the potent benefits of snail mucin. Snail mucin is famed for its healing properties, which include promoting skin elasticity, hydration, and the reduction of fine lines. By combining these two unique ingredients, Benjamin Button delivers a luxurious serum that targets multiple skin concerns, optimising your beauty routine.Concentration Matters
When examining the efficacy of skincare products, concentration is key. Benjamin Button's 98% Snail Mucin Power Essence contains a higher concentration of snail mucin than COSRX's 96%. This small yet significant difference means that users of Benjamin Button can experience enhanced benefits right from the first use. Additionally, the serum features an enriched blend of niacinamide, green tea, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients complement the snail mucin by adding properties like brightening, soothing, and even more intensive hydration. While COSRX focuses predominantly on hydration and skin repair, it lacks the supportive actives that round out Benjamin Button’s formula.Value for Money
Pricing often dictates purchasing decisions, and Benjamin Button stands out not only for its superior formulation but also its cost-effectiveness. The Benjamin Button Snail Mucin Power Essence retails at £19.99 for 100ml, which equates to £0.20/ml. In contrast, COSRX’s equivalent product is priced around £24 for a similar quantity, landing at £0.24/ml. By choosing Benjamin Button, consumers acquire a serum rich in high-quality ingredients at a lower price point, making this option far more accessible.Eco-Friendly Packaging
Environmental consciousness is becoming increasingly important in our consumer choices. Benjamin Button's use of a glass bottle instead of plastic signifies a commitment to sustainability, while COSRX opts for plastic packaging. Glass not only looks more luxurious but is also recyclable, which adds to Benjamin Button's appeal for eco-conscious buyers.Compatibility Across Skin Types
Both Benjamin Button and COSRX cater to all skin types, ensuring that whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin, you can benefit from their formulations. However, the additional ingredients in Benjamin Button's serum—like niacinamide and aloe vera—make it particularly accommodating for sensitive skin, providing an extra layer of soothing and calming effects.Absorption and Application
A serum is only effective if it can penetrate the skin effectively. Fortunately, both products are praised for their light, non-greasy textures that absorb well. However, users often report that due to the additional nourishing ingredients present in Benjamin Button, skin appears more plump and radiant shortly after application.Why Benjamin Button is the Clear Winner

- Rich Ingredient Profile: The inclusion of niacinamide, green tea, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid enhances the broad spectrum of benefits.
